Adding projectiles to clearair.2da

[Demivrgvs]

If i add projectiles (via ADD_PROJECTILE) that should be removeable by Zone of Sweet Air i have to add a few entries to clearair.2da but i don't know which numbers will be assigned to the new projectiles when added. How shall i code it so that these projectiles are added to clearair.2da whichever is the projectile number assigned to them?

Using ADD_PROJECTILE ~MyMod/foo.pro~ sets a variable named foo, which you can use for assigning the projectile, appending to clearair.2da, etc.

Sorry i was forgetting about it.

 

If anyone need this too it's really simple:

 

ADD_PROJECTILE ~Folder_name\projectile_name.pro~

APPEND ~clearair.2da~ ~Projectile_Name %projectile_name%~

 

E.g:

 

ADD_PROJECTILE ~Spells_rev\projectles\stinkcl.pro~

COPY ~Spells_rev\spwi2##\spwi213.spl~ ~override~ //Stinking Cloud

SAY NAME1 @473 SAY UNIDENTIFIED_DESC @474 // Spell Name & Description

WRITE_SHORT 0x98 %stinkcl% // projectile is assigned to the spell

APPEND ~clearair.2da~ ~Stink Cloud %stinkcl%~

ADD_PROJECTILE ~Folder_name\projectile_name.pro~

APPEND ~clearair.2da~ ~Projectile_Name %projectile_name%~

This actually doesn't work as clearair.2da for some reason detects projectiles with their assigned variable/number (-1). Thus if the new .pro file is added as projectile (300) we can't simply append its variable (300), we have to append projectile (299).

Are you sure? If it does function this way, just do:

 

ADD_PROJECTILE ~Folder_name\projectile_name.pro~

SET projectile_name -= 1

APPEND ~clearair.2da~ ~Projectile_Name %projectile_name%~

Yes. In some places, numbering for projectiles starts at 0, and in other places, numbering starts as 1.

 

It's confusing as hell, but that's the way it works. Go, BioWare!
